Bermuda rough is nasty, and the ball almost always sinks in right down to the ground. When the rough is deeper than the ball, sometimes the only way to find the ball is by stepping on it.
We played Mallory Hill yesterday and it was in great shape. The rough was pretty deep for sure, which it should be, especially at a CC course. But damn it's hard to find your ball when you hit there, which I did too many times. lol
